It’s getting starting to get cold, and here in Calgary we’ve already had our first dump of snow ahead of schedule – but that’s no reason to be sad! For us, it just means we turn to all the great things there are to do inside!

Looking for something fun to do with your friends or family? Then check out the recently opened…

A new pinnacle in the “barcade” concept, The Rec Room is the latest addition to Calgary’s already impressive stable of attractions! Featuring over 47,000 square feet of concentrated fun, this is your portal to indoor adventure!

If you grew up in the 90s, you have fond memories of video arcades: putting a quarter down on the Street Fighter cabinet as a new challenger, climbing into the cockpit of the After Burner machine, and more! The Rec Room recreates that excitement for 2018, with a host of fun games that you’ll love!

But that’s not all there is at the Rec Room – there’s also an augmented climbing wall, that combines the latest technology with all the fun of indoor climbing! Play a game of ping pong or skee-ball, prove your dominance at the billiards table, or take on The Rec Room’s very own VR driving experience! We promise, blink and you’ll have spent an entire (incredible) day here!

Combine this fun experience with TWO dining options in Three10 and The Shed Poutinerie, a huge selection of Canadian microbrews, fun events like parties, concerts and workshops and more, and The Rec Room is Calgary’s new favourite hangout spot.

The Rec Room is all-ages during the day, but after 10 PM becomes 18+, so plan your visit accordingly!

Calgary is a blast no matter what time of year, no matter what the weather. If you’re looking for a vacay, book a room at the Best Western Premier Freeport Inn & Suites for an affordable stay in a luxury hotel that gives you access to the best that Calgary has to offer. Don’t worry about standing in the cold – our complimentary shuttle will pick you up and drop you off at the airport so you have nothing to worry about!
